IE, WebKit and Opera tokenize on EOF. For interop, Gecko should too.

Hmm. Weird. This patch doesn't exhibit the same behavior as WebKit and IE.

On the surface, it looks like Gecko blocks the parser more eagerly than the other engines.

So it seems this patch is reasonable in itself, but in order to get compat with WebKit/IE/Presto, the script loader or sink needs to behave differently. Gecko unblocks the parser after both the test case document.close() and the harness document.close() in this case:
